Malaysia is located on the Sunda shelf, and is tectonically inactive.The oldest rocks in the country date from 540 million years ago, and are mostly sedimentary.The most common form of rock is limestone, formed during the Paleozoic Era.Limestone laid down in East Malaysia during the Tertiary period has since eroded, and such erosion forms basins of sedimentary rocks rich in oil and natural gas.

The geology and karstic nature of the Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) limestone are described in relation to pile foundation problems of heavily loaded structures. The presence of cavities, pinnacles, cantilever slabs, floating slabs and pockets of soft silty clay and loose sand in the underlying limestone bedrock presents formidable challenges to foundation engineers.
